  1. My Butterfly Dignics 09C Review: Why I think that most amateur players should avoid it

    I don't think I ever said there is room for the opinion that when discussing two rubbers that are far more similar than they are different (09c and H3N), it is possible that one could be a "strict and fair teacher" and even beneficial to "force people into good technique" while the other can...
  2. My Butterfly Dignics 09C Review: Why I think that most amateur players should avoid it

    Tag teaming? And when the forum majority engages in "Butterfly bad for beginners / will ruin your life" discussion for the millionth time, that isn't tag teaming? But two people who typically push back on that are the tag team...
  3. My Butterfly Dignics 09C Review: Why I think that most amateur players should avoid it

    But you repeatedly describe H3N which is also a tacky, hard, non-bouncy rubber, as a "strict but fair teacher"? So why does that not apply to 09c? And H3N can't lead to bad technical habits in lower level players because it is demanding and causes "unforced" errors when used by those who can't...

    Would be surprised if it isn't JOOLA, and announced soon, to avoid the mess that occurred last year.
  5. Looking for a Fh Rubber

    That is the Zezima experience. You can only hope that a year from now, he will realize others were right
  6. Is Dignics 09c a better FH or BH rubber?

    Outright speed and flat play (punch block, smashing) are definitely relative downsides of 09c compared to other top end modern offensive rubbers especially non-hybrids. Playable, sure, but definitely relative downsides. Every high level player with decent technique knows that 09c relatively...

    Damn and I suggested that over a year ago the first time looking at one of your threads. Makes you think...
  8. Overall Technique focus

    The other big reason to practice early/peak timing is because in games you will always be a little slower and later than in practice situations. This is true for everybody of every level. So if you practice earlier, during games you can still adapt and get shots on the table while being...
  9. Overall Technique focus

    Doesn't seem like anything outstanding in terms of quality to me, and nevertheless doesn't matter when you're missing half of them in your selected 1 minute clip of a drill where you're getting the same ball to the same spot and still missing half. The issue with the consistency remains the...
  10. Singapore Smash 2026, Singapore, 2/19-3/1

    LYJ had been destroying XP even with the LYJSZLC. He does seem to be in top form right now though.
  11. Overall Technique focus

    Watched about 30 seconds - your legs don't provide any power or stability on the loops against push which is why it's inconsistent. Will be even worse in real games when you're forced to move or timing changes. Still zero acceleration or snap in your arm on both topspin and underspin which is...

    Need piligrim to assure us this is commercial version Tenergy 09c
  13. Dignics 05........ not lasting as long as people say.

    Then yeah, 3-4 months is pretty good durability in that situation...
  14. Calderano Signs with Joola (#139)

    Appreciate the context, but still basically just boils down to the fact that he hasn't settled on something yet.
  15. Calderano Signs with Joola (#139)

    I assume you are joking but in case you aren't, the reason a sponsor would send more is because the player isn't satisfied yet with what he has tested. No serious sponsor would want their newly signed star to keep EJing and have their results likely be affected by not having full feeling over...
  16. Equipment Switch

    D05 and D09c are probably more durable than ESN rubbers. So you might not be saving the money that you think you are if you are training that frequently and then need to start changing Xiom rubbers every 3 weeks.

    @KTableTennis please do yourself a favor and let your coaches dictate your equipment changes not random people from the internet
  18. Dignics 05........ not lasting as long as people say.

    Yeah assuming they play and train at a similar level and amount, the next question is whether one of their was boosted and the other wasn't. All else being equal, 09c lasting longer than D05 doesn't make sense to me.
  19. Dignics 05........ not lasting as long as people say.

    D05 is one of the most durable rubbers out there, but someone who hits hard and trains hard (if this is you) is not going to get to 10 months with 6 hours per week, without experiencing major changes in the rubber performance. You may have read a comment from someone who trains softer or less...
  20. Petr Korbel jp with T19 vs D09c

    96g blade for someone who struggles with transition across FH and BH seems crazy but at least a step in the right direction
